hilsSo, I am home! How is everyone?
I had an AMAZING time at the con (for those not on Twitter who missed all the flailing) and there will be pics and a report coming later today
First of all, though, I have to share the amazingness that is Misha Collins.
As some of you may know he did a sponsored run yesterday to raise money for his new charity, Random Acts. He sort of said it was a marathon but really he was just going to run as far as he could
He ran over 50 miles in over 11 hours, which totally boggles me! I can't even imagine walking for 11 hours never mind running it.
It was so amazing to see the fandom come together to support him. Bless Matt Cohen (young John Winchester) he even made a video of support for Misha. Jim Beaver was less than impressed because he sponsored Misha $50 per km (Misha ran 83km) so he was cracking a lot of jokes about not being able to send his daughter to college and how he was going to hire a sniper to take Misha down.
I've collected together the tweets from Misha, Matt and Jim and I've got some photos of support that we took at the con over the weekend
(The ones without a user name in front are from Misha)
I'm going for a jog. This is my starting point. Frost Road and highway 547. This is gonna be easy.

Running update: as u can see, it's pretty here, what the photo doesn't show is that I just peed on my sneaker. http://plixi.com/p/43461953

It ain't easy to type while running. Video? http://twitvid.com/HMI12
Some fan girls came out. http://twitvid.com/VOUFM
I'll be passing through sedro-Woolley, WA in a couple of hours. If anyone lives near-bye, i could use some advil.
Blackberry(s) captured by an iPhone camera at 51.2 kilometers. The only thing that hurts is my body. http://plixi.com/p/43495910

So far 3 cars have stopped with Advil for me. I'm trying not to overdose.
Apparently wit is the first faculty to give out on long runs. This is all I've got. http://twitvid.com/AUEID
They have a sadly outdated transportation system here in sedro-Woolley. http://plixi.com/p/43511754
#MotionX Share: I went right just now when meant to go left and doubled back a couple of K, but I've crossed 64k. http://bit.ly/amxr18
These 2 came to say they're starting a local chapter of random acts University. We're a franchise like mcdonalds! http://twitvid.com/NYGPE
I'm slowing, but still going. I'm past 70k and for that, I am very, very sorry @jumblejim (he pledged $50/k).
And by "k" I mean kilometer. It's normal to lose vision in one eye, right?
#MotionX Share: I think that's enough. I'm going to stop now. http://bit.ly/9npIyP
This seemed like a good stopping point. http://plixi.com/p/43537663
Final count: 83km. That's a little over 50 miles for those of u who speak American.
jumblejim: Any word on when Misha starts his run? What's a km, anyway? Like a thousand miles, right?
jumblejim: What? He's run 50,000 miles in only 7 hours? He's faster than I thought.
jumblejim: I thought Misha's run wld only cost me a few cents at $50 a km, but it's worth a few grand 2 see sum1 run around the world twice in 7 hrs.
jumblejim: It's no big deal, anyway, as I'm taking it out of my kid's college fund. Not like it's coming out of *my* pocket. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: I didn't join Misha because I don't run unless I'm on fire. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: Wait! He *paused* to take pictures of berries?? Nobody said anything about pausing. This isn't #PauseMishaPause.
jumblejim: RT @therandomactorg: @jumblejim You have all of us falling out of our chairs laughing! #RunMishaRun Good, cuz I think I bought those chairs.
jumblejim: In honor of Misha's run (and my new insolvency), I'm gonna get out of bed. #RunMishaRun. #LazeAroundGoodForNothingJimLazeAround
jumblejim: I'm starting to think it would be cheaper to hire a hit man and take Misha out. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: #RunMishaRun Yeah, run, Misha. Another mile or two and I'm going to have to sell my car.
jumblejim: I know what I'm getting my 9-year-old for Christmas. Her first job. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: Does anyone know for sure that he's actually running? They do amazing things with CGI these days. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: @TheRandomActOrg How do I sign up to become a recipient of your fine charity? I've recently (like in the last few minutes) gone bankrupt.
jumblejim: Got an idea. For every dollar someone sends me, I'll run a kilometer...eventually. Misha's made me a charity case, so it's a good cause!
jumblejim: Gonna go downstairs and eat a TV dinner. Not hungry, but I think I'm gonna need the tin foil. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: @TheRandomActOrg Your site says he's running a marathon. Marathon=26 miles. Am I to be penalized for an extra 74 miles of showing off?
jumblejim: I'm going to the movies--with my last bit of cash. Please someone tell Misha there's a sniper somewhere around KM 80. #RunMishaRun
jumblejim: Misha Collins ran over 50 miles today and raised over $94,000 for charity. Way more of that money than I expected... http://fb.me/IZK1UWjd
